When I first watched the movie‚ I read that the producers were debating if they should have divided the movie into two parts due the book length. For this reason‚ a lot of print text was deleted in the movie; while other scenes were added to give the audience a deeper view of some scenes.

    explains he is in fact Gatsby. However in the movie Gatsby being played by Leonardo DiCaprio it would give it away that he’s the man Nick has been waiting to meet so instead Gatsby over hears Nick say he hasn’t met the host and Gatsby turns around and says I’m Gatsby. One thing I did notice about DiCaprio playing Gatsby was he over used Gatsby saying “old sport” in the book he does say it a fair amount but not as much as he does in the film. In the book it seemed very much so that Jordan Baker and

Washington Irving’s short story inspired Tim Burton’s film but did not limit it. The foundations of the two are much the same but their story lines unfold diversely

    Even considering the complicated format of the book‚ David Fincher managed to almost perfectly illustrate the novel Fight Club‚ by Chuck Palahniuk‚ in his movie of the same name. Although tempting to compare a book and its film counterpart on even grounds‚ as a substitute of one another‚ the tools used to create each one differ greatly and thus should be evaluated on a thematic level. While the reading audience has the chance to reread‚ and absorb the themes in layers‚ the other audience is seeing
